Naomi Campbell has followed her stepbrother Richard Blackwood on Twitter now he is on 'EastEnders'.

The supermodel - who has 346,000 followers on the social networking site - hit the follow button after the actor landed the role of villain Vincent Hubbard on Albert Square.

A friend of the newbie soap star told The Sun newspaper: "He jokes that she may not actually watch the show but she at least keeps tabs on him and his career as one of his 26,000 followers!"

Richard himself also revealed he doesn't see his older sister as "the most beautiful woman in the world", she is "just Naomi" to him.

He also admitted, Naomi, 45, wasn't someone to "mess" with growing up.

The 43-year-old actor said: "Naomi was thrilled to have somebody she could bully and boss about. But she wouldn't let anyone else try it on. Even as a little kid Naomi had this amazing air about her. You just knew you couldn't mess with her. It was great having a big sister to look out for me. I don't look at her and see one of the most beautiful women in the world. I just see Naomi."
